On long-term talent our Rating reads 53. At 22 Candelaria is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 23.1 reflects that trajectory.

Output in context · NAC Breda finished 17th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
2.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 8 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Strengths
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 5.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 52.7 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
